Pros

Some of the people are exceptional. The clients I worked on were all great. They have good documentation.

Cons

Dishonesty, "culture" is all talk, everything is just for show. Your "mentors" only do it to brag, you get punished for things you can't control (like whether sales has signed a contract or not), they lie about their dedication to inclusion. (They ignore trans people in all metrics, laid off the accessibility leads, punish people for taking ADA accommodations.) They say they care about and trust their employees then force a back-to-office policy. Their benefits and pay are far behind others in the industry (esp after a year-long freeze). Paid 2x what I am now for the same health coverage. Very thin pipeline of incoming work means I expect there will be more layoffs by Q2 2024. (Speaking of layoffs, they've been doing them for a bit but kept it secret until the big one. It was not their first layoff. They also keep an entire division that is unpaid if not on a project so they can inflate their numbers. Those "employees" don't yet any Slalom privileges, just get to be numbers.)

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
